Not sure it will help but our application https://mycollections.codeplex.com/ can generate nfo file for music collections.
As we don't have XMBC player, i m not sure all information's are present. So don't hesitate to ask for improvement.
AVOID THIS DOWNLOAD!!! I installed it and it is bundled with a very nasty malware downloader and installer!!!! I unchecked all the options to install any additional software and told it to skip the bundled software installs and it still installed a TON of garbage on to my system! The installer shutdown all my open web browsers without warning to install it's garbage. It ended up installing a system optimizer onto my system. Even after using the uninstaller for the extra software it installed it still left a lot of adware, spyware, and malware on my system. Malwarebytes found 40 items left over from this installer!
I do not know if mycollections software is legit or any good as I did not dare try running it after everything it's installer did. Any product that would bundle itself with something this bad could not be a reputable product. I would highly avoid downloading and installing this, if it is even legit, until the author unpackages it from all the malware that is bundled with it! And just to clarify, this installer is not like the annoying ones that include the ask toolbar, or google chrome in them. Those ones at least will actually skip the installs if you decide to uncheck them.
As mycollections points out, it's what you allowed to be done. This is a common issue I see a lot with friends and family constantly accepting the default when installing programs. Then I get called to bail them out after their computer is dominated by the likes of the crap you named above. Toolbars, SysTray background services, popups, etc.
I just installed it to see for myself. Looks like you didn't choose Custom and you accepted the popup for other add-on programs by clicking the X and Skip buttons.
As mycollections also points out, that how the program stays free. However, I'm seeing paid programs using the same tactics more and more.
